Goals, entertainment and solidarity.
Nothing is missing in the presentation of the second Roma of Josè Mourinho at the Olympic stadium against Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Giallorossi win 5-0 in a game that has the flavor of a party and in a stadium that sees the first sold out of the season with the entire proceeds donated to the host club.
A lot of applause for the Ukrainian anthem, played an hour and a half before the match, and which anticipated the presentation of the team.
The Roma players were called one at a time to the center of the field and each of them was accompanied by music (chosen by the players themselves) and special effects.
Among the most acclaimed Zaniolo, Abraham, the new signings Wijnaldum, Matic and Dybala, while Pellegrini and Mourinho entered only together at the end, receiving the standing ovation of the 65,303 spectators present.

Friendlies: Roma-Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 - Football
(HANDLE)
In short, the party can begin because the Special One chooses the 'Fab Four' all together from the first minute.
And Pellegrini, Zaniolo, Dybala and Abraham are the protagonists of the first goal finalized by the seven Giallorossi after less than 20 minutes.
Heavy legs for Shakhtar (who plays with the names of the Ukrainian cities involved in the conflict with Russia on the shirts instead of the surnames of the players), while with the passing of the minutes the game of Roma finds more and more fluidity closing the first half on 3 -0 with Mancini's goal, Konoplya's own goal, a post by Zaniolo and a couple of plays by Dybala that ignited the stands.
At the break the show continues because it's time for Blanco's mini concert, while in the second half the first changes arrive for Mou who immediately throws in Smalling, Ibanez, Svilar,
Celik and a few minutes later also Bove, Winaldum and El Shaarawy who after less than thirty seconds serves Zaniolo for the Giallorossi poker.
The Portuguese gives minutes to everyone (except for Zalewski in the stands as a precaution for a blow to the ankle) and in the final he also finds the fifth goal with Bove.
Transfer chapter: Villar will sign with Sampdoria tomorrow, while Carles Perez (absent this evening during the presentation of the team) is one step away from Celta Vigo. An operation, once closed, which would bring Andrea Belotti closer to Roma.
For days, the Gallo has had an agreement with the Giallorossi on the basis of a three-year deal at 2.8 million euros per season plus bonuses to climb and is just waiting to be able to land in the capital.
Tiago Pinto is hoping already by Wednesday to give Mourinho the sixth hit of the market by the kick-off of the season.
Then the central would remain and the chosen one is Eric Bailly, today in the stands of his Manchester United match.
On the way out, however, the Giallorossi continue to negotiate the loan with obligation of redemption of Shomurodov to Bologna and that of Kluivert to Fulham
